Top 5 USB-C fast chargers for iPad Pro

It’s 2018, and Apple has finally joined the USB-C train. The latest iPad Pro (our review) started to hit store shelves and customer hands yesterday, and I picked my iPad up today. Apple does include an 18W USB-C fast charger in the box, thankfully. Now you now have a large range of options thanks to Apple moving to a new standard. For most people, 18W is plenty for charging. If you have the larger 12.9-inch iPad Pro and are using power-intensive applications, you might want some extra juice. These are our top 5 USB-C fast chargers for iPad Pro.

Why do you need more than 18W?

Well, you don’t, but it doesn’t hurt. The more power you send the iPad (to an extent), the faster it’ll charge…or at least, keep up with your usage if you’re doing processor-intensive tasks.

If you’re in the market for some extra chargers, this is for you. Below, we outline our top 5 USB-C fast chargers for iPad Pro. From desktop power stations to pocketable mobile chargers, you can find out what we recommend (and use daily) for Apple’s latest tablet.

Desktop USB-C Power Delivery Chargers:

This is a new addition to my USB-C force. It can send up to 60W of power to USB-C Power Delivery devices, and also has a few extra ports. This is my new “desk” charger for things that my Nomad Base Station doesn’t power. This USB-C port is also great for keeping other devices besides your iPad charged, like your MacBook or even Nintendo Switch.

This Satechi power station features Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology, as well. This is great for 7.5/10W Qi-enabled wireless chargers and is also great for charging Android phones. The two other ports are perfect for keeping your Apple Watch topped off or Kindle powered. They provide up to 2.4A max, which is enough to charge just about any phone.

This charger doesn’t pack quite the same punch as the above Satechi, but it comes in at a more affordable price and also features an extra USB-A port. I keep this charger in my “tech bag” for when I travel, as it can power all of my devices with just a single wall outlet.

The USB-C Power Delivery port on Anker’s charger is limited to 30W here, so it’s only half as powerful as the above Satechi. But, it’s a great upgrade over Apple’s 18W bundled option.

Wall USB-C Power Delivery Chargers:

AUKEY’s USB-C charger is another item I keep in my tech go bag, as it’s small and can charge my MacBook and other devices. Now, it can even power my iPad, and I love that. The USB-C port will output up to 46W of power, which will easily charge my 2017 MacBook Pro or my new iPad.

The USB-A port provides up to 10.5W of charging, which is great for charging your iPhone, Apple Watch, or other USB devices.

This is great for travel, as it’s smaller than the above desktop charging stations yet it still packs enough punch to charge the iPad at a higher rate than Apple’s 18W bundled charger and another device.

This is perfect for overnight trips as it can charge your iPad and iPhone with one plug. If you need it, you can even use the USB-C port to power your MacBook or anything else that uses Type-C.

This charger actually has a $7 offon-page coupon right now, which makes it just $15. This is a great alternative to Apple’s official 18W USB-C charger, which you cannot buy separately right now. If you want a compact charger that gives you the same power as Apple’s official charger, this is a fantastic option.

I personally own two of these for when I need something super small to slip into my pocket. AUKEY’s 18W USB-C charger is perfect for that.
